Facts and Figures that Speak for Them

4 Selves.
( DEAR SIR:-As you asked me for
some facts about ensilage [ will give
you my experience to the best of my
ability. [ have now tried it for three
years and the more [ use it the better
I like it. Last year put up over
three hundred tons and am sowing for
four hundred and fifty tons this year
Nmostly corn and< some peas. My
Iwhole crop Of corn averaged twelve
jand one-half tons per acre and peas
about three and one-half. This year,
if seasonable, expect larger yield
per acre as [ am sowing Oh better soil.
Pea vines makes the best ensilage and
the most milk, but as corn yields so
much more per acre we plant mostly
Of it.
In regard to what effect ensilage
has upon the butter, | would say, it
has had none with us for we have fed
entirely upon it for the last three win
ters, and our customers say they like
our butter as we'll, if not better, than
butter made by dry feed and by dairy
men with much finer herds than we
have, for we have but four thorough
bred Guernseys, balance graded Jer-
seys and natives.
AS to the cost of ensilage it can be
made and put away (cut) in silo for
less than $l.50 per ton, provided, it is
raised conveniently to the silo and on
ordinary soil. Below is the exact cost
of 40 tons of pea vine ensilage put in
a silo below ground (uncut) LAST Sep
tember
Flowing seven acres, at $l.75 per
acre, $8.75.
Fourteen barrels of black peas, at
80 cents per bushel, $126O
I Narrowing seven arces of peas
broadcast, $3.50.
Labor Of sowing peas, IS cents.
Rolling, 81.
Hauling 100 two-horse loads, now
ing, filling, covering and weighing silo,
$2725.
Total cost of 40 tons pea vine ensi-
lage, $5l.S5.
There were two cuttings of fine
clover moved from this same seven
acres before the peas were sowed in
July. Farm hands, mules, &C., are
all charged in the above at the above
rates paid, all extra labor hired
The peas were sowed July 9Th, and
moved September 10th. I opened
this silo May lst, 1887, and found it
just as goodas any of my cut ensilage.
There is no exsrse Tor any man able
% e4eep two or three cows not to have
d silo on account of the cost of build
ing, &c., for the last one I had dug
for DR.. Lewis, all done by hired labor,
cost, completed, including shelter and
sufficient lumber to extend the walls
Above ground three feet, less than IS
dents per ton capacity. Even if it
were possible to cure the amount of
cbrn fodder that this one silo alone
hplds (225 tons), we would not have
bhrn room enough on the farm to hold
it So much has already been said
ahd proven in favor of ensilage that
Ham surprised at any man keeping a
herd of cattle without silo, If you
think these few facts worth the space
id your valuable paper you are wei
come to use them.
Yours truly,
JEFF. DAVIS,
/ Manager for DR.. r. III. Lewis.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Last night this section of the southwest
was again visited by gentle, general rain.
Crops of all kinds promise bountiful
yield, while the bracing air is ladened with
fragrance from the abundant wild flowers.
Business in all lines is excellent and the
tide of immigration is unprecedented. The
building boom, long since inaugu-
rated, has been given another boost. The
three story Seventh avenue hotel, the New
Deming. is almost ready for occupancy.
A. T. Spottswood's fine residence is
framed and is being pushed to completion
as fast as men and the somewhat limited
supply of lumber will permit. The frame
of the Watson livery stable is up and will
soon be ready for his handsome turnouts.
The Theis Spottswood business block is
progressing nicely; when completed one
room will be occupied as dry goods store
and one as hardware store.
The board of trade has been considering
a proposition, lately submitted to them, to
bore for natural gas and artesian water.
At the last meeting of the city council
steps were taken looking to the sanitary
welfare of the city, and sidewalks ordered
extended along Main street for three blocks
further. Verify the queen of the corner
does spread" The prospecting stranger
invariably exclaims: "Richfeld the first,
the last, the best, the banner city of the
new southwest"

INGALLS, Abilene SPEECH.

From the standp tint of politician, there
is a question whether the speech of Senator
Ingalls, at Abilene will be of much use to
our distinguished senator. 1t lacks the
ring that will always catch the public ap-
plause. However correct may be the views
of Senator ingalls, on the question OF suf-
frage for women, it is, nevertheless,
dangerous experiment for him to argue the
question from legal standpoint. His posi-
ton is too susceptible of misconstruction,
and can be turned against him in too many
places. Senator ingalls, speech on this
question of suffrage will not be successful
ly answered by profound jurist or noted
constitutional lawyers, because they are
liable to take about the same position that
he did. Which position will seldom
meet the pproval of public assemblage.
For his decision in the Dred-Scott case,
Chief Justice Tawney was most decidedly
hate by the people of this country Yet
we believe it is now generally conceded
that the cold logic of law fully justified the
position taken by Chief Justice fancy.
Men like Lincoln and Chase and Sumner
hated the law which compelled the chief
Justice to say that "a black man before the
law had no rights which white man was
bound to respect" while the masses of the
people hated fancy for saying it. They
hated him for saying white
man was not bound to respect the
rights of the black man, when
it was historical fact disputed by nc
body that the white race in this country
never had respected the rights of the black
race. 1t is historical fact that the found
ers of our government did not think its
stability depended upon the consent of the
governed. Yet good many people will
be mad at Senator ingalls, for saying it
They will argue from this that Mr.. ingalls,
is not in favor of consulting the people il
regard to government. 1t has always beer
true and always will be true that physical
force is the ultimatum of civil government
Yet for the way in which Senator 1ngall:
put this fact in his Abilene speech he will b(
misrepresented and abused for years tt
come. There are very few people all oveI
the country today who are criticising Mr
ingalls,, who ever stopto consider the people
the subjects of this government. They
only think of them as the people, the gov
eminent. The people will look with mis-
trust upon the man who argues govern
ment from legal stand point, while the,
will join in the refrain with him who sing
the song of freedom. If Mr.. ingalls, il
addition to being right wants to get Their
Eli he will consider this matter.

LE-WATTERSON AND THE
MUGWUMPS.

While the stand taken by the Democratic
party of Kentucky under the leadership of
Carlisle and Watterson against protective
tariff may not be considered to the best in
terest of the country at large, should their
policy prevail in the councils of the nation,
they will, however, have the respect of all
the people in this country who admire men
in public places who have the courage to
pro claim ther convictions While George
w. Curtis and other mugwumps are abus-
ing Mr.. Carlisle and Watterson, they may
obtain the approval of some eastern Demo
Gratis, but there is at least strong proba-
bility that the great majority of
that party will favor the policy of
Carlisle and Watterson Mr.. Curtis
left the Republican party and
Is attempting to take into the Democratic
camp the republican principle of protec-
ton. If he can induce the Democratic
party to adopt the policy of protection, he
could then make the claim that in his de-
sertion of the Republican party he had not
deserted his principles The instincts of
the Democratic party have always been
against protection, and it remains to be
seen whether the Curtis school of mug
wumps will convert the democratic party.
or whether the Democratic leaders will
convert the Curtis mugwumps to the doc
trine of free trade. In case either party
fails In their object they may possibly be
able to unite on simply tariff re-

A SHORT STUDY OF INGALLS,.

Senator ingalls, is one of the best
equipped men in the senate for debate or
to the position to which he has been elect
ed He is brilliant, incisive speaker and
thorough going student He studies pub
lie questions, and has much wider range
of general information than the average
senator. A number of Mr. Ingalls, critics
have said that he is superficial and shallow.
This is the revenge that dull men have al
ways taken against brilliant men. You
cannot make dull men concede that bril-
liant men can have as profound
minds as the mind that never spar
kles and never moves actively.
There is not senator who gives as
much time to study as Mr.. ingalls,. He
very rarely goes out in society, He can
nearly always be found at home in the
evening and at his desk. He reads all the
current literatu of the day and the pamph
lets and documents which bear on public
questions He is more dreaded in debate
than any of the senators, simply on account
of his aggressive qualities and his thorough
information. He is chiefly noted for his
incisiveness His keen common sense and
clear vision direct him at once to the weak
spot of an adversary. There is 40 ont
who can more quickly destroy the limsy

what that means. The advocates of
tariff reform could claim to the people OF
the West. that the tariff would be reduced
because the present system produced
much larger amount of money than was
needed to carry on the government, and
that it would be reduced SO as to produce
only sufficient revenue to run the govern
ment, economically administered. This
would be the exposition of the tariff reform
platform in the West. In the East it
would be explained that the policy of the
party is to levy revenue sufficient to run
the government, and that our coast de-
fenses are to be looked after and a navy
commensurate with the importance of the
country is to be constructed and many
other great schemes are to be inaugurated,
which will require more money, and neces-
state an increased revenue. Thus 1t can
be seen that tariff reform in the east would
mean higher tariff and reduction of the
same in the west. The question that the
Republican party proposes to present TO
the country is this: Is the principle OF
protection to American labor correct
principle? Will this country be more
prosperous by protecting our laboring peo
pie against class of cheap labor in
Europe; or will it be more prosperous by
open free competition? This is the issue
that the Republican party is anxious to
meet. When it comes the Republican per
ty will score another victory for protection
